oohhh... this is beautiful. I love the sense of the bond between the three of them, the unquestionable loyalty. a perfect self-contained unit. The clarity of Ellen's observation in the last paragraph just summed it all up, uncomplicated affection and joy, not so bad at all. Thankyou for writing this, I'm definitely saving it to read again and again.
I don't think I've read anything so beautiful and so ugly at the same time in ages. It's like the way they were meant to be, and the way we're glad they're not.
Perfectly told from Ellen's POV, probably the only way it could have been.
For the hands? Try something called (I'm gonna hope I spell it right) Eucerin. I can find it at Target and Walgreens, so you shouldn't have a problem. If all else fails (and your husband doesn't mind), try slathering on vaseline and wearing cotton gloves to bed.
*hugs* hope the hands get less lizardy and ouchy soon!
Hrmmmmm. Don't have either of those stores here - i'll look around. I mostly use super glue to glue the splits shut - works really well - but i don't have any right now! But yeah, knuckles and fingers all dry and cracked and flakey. Sheesh. :)
I have no words for this. I'm completely stunned here. What a beautiful and creepy look at how it could have been. I was reading it and I couldn't help but see Angelus and company in the Winchesters- beautiful, deadly, devoted. Some of the best stories I've read in this fandom get into just how far that family can go with and for each other, and this hit the spot rather exactly. Frightening, but wonderful. Great job.
Heh, don't you love that feeling? When someone says, "hey, great job on x," and x is just exactly what you were going for in the story. It never fails to make my day when I hear it, so I'm glad I could say it for you. And of course, it goes without saying that it was absolutely true. ^^
Beautiful. Just too fucking hot and scary and awesome. AUs are always weird to me, but even though I love how the show is NOW, this is just too perfect, a what if that could be so completely real, because it's not that far from canon now.
As a side note, I actually read "The Jungle Book" because I think you mentioned it in a Spander fic you wrote, and I loved it completely. Also, it was weird seeing your username in print like that (and finally being able to pronounce it), and thinking about your wonderful fanfic while reading about tricky jungle creatures :]
Oh, did you read it? Neat! I love to think i inspired somebody to pick it up. I've loved Kipling most of my life, so yay! Heeeee - i guess it might be weird to see my name over and over. Heh. Thanks for telling me!
